      Idk what kind of deodorant you’re using but I regularly go for long walks where I come back absolutely drenched in sweat, like wring out a tall glass of sweat type drenched. All I can smell on the shirt is deodorant. You sure you’re using it correctly / enough?

        In my opinion I am using enough because it does its job when it is not swelteringly hot outside and I also don’t stink of deodorant. (I am rather sensitive to that kind of thing) If I put on enough that I don’t stink of sweat I just stink of deodorant (with a tinge of sweat) instead which I don’t think is all that much better personally.

            That depends on the person, plenty I’ve talked to have explicitly said that sweat smell is better than the mix resulting from trying to just drown it in a different odor. For me personally it’d also depend on the deodorant.

      I was having this problem until I looked online and found the brand I had been using my entire life had lowered their active ingredient by nearly half (all while rebranding to 48 HOUR PROTECTION) solved by finding a brand that hadn’t enshittified, fuck you Speed Stick
